Marking of Civii-Service Examination Papers.
NEW YORK, June 2s.-The special committee,
consisting of Henry F. Donovan, of the Chicago
postofice; John a. Mason, of the New York
custom house, and Edward S. Post, of the New
York postofice, appointed by President Cleve-
land. last week. during the conference in Wash
Ington of local civil-servlce officers from the
leading cities. to suggest notifications in the
civil-service rules, finished its work in New York
to-day. It decided not to recommend any
change in the form of application by candidates,
but to recommend that, hereafter, all examina-
tion papers be marked up in Washington; that
the marking be done by a board Of fifteen mem
bers. made up follows: Seven chosen from
the departments of the government in Washing
ton, each from the custom houses and post
Offices of New York and Boston. one from the
Philadelphia custom house, and one each from
the postofices OF Baltimore, St. Louis and Chit
cago The object in view in having all exami-
nation papers marked by this central board is to
do away with all opportunity for suspicion of
unfairness such obtains in certain localities
under the present local board system, and which
tends TO neutralze the objects sought for under
the civilservise law.
